This is something I have always wanted to do. I think I started noticing how unhappy I was with my nose since middle school when one of my friends pointed out my "bump." Ever since then I knew that someday I would like to make it better. I knew I wasn't an ugly girl but I hated the feeling of people looking at me from the side. I hated being stuck at a red light and feeling like the driver in the car next to me would be looking at my nose. My nose wasn't terrible but I knew it can look way better. I always told myself that before I turned 25 I would treat myself to a Rhinoplasty. I just turned 23 in August and I made an appointment to see Dr. Ciardullo. He was the FIRST surgeon I had a consultation with. I am EXTREMELY picky and thought that like other people I would visit atleast 3 before making a choice. The minute I walked out of his office I didn't feel like I had to look any further. If anything I came home and started searching on real self and convinced myself even more after seeing before and after pictures of his patients. I immediately called his office back and scheduled my appointment for September 19th, 2013. I was so excited that I was finally doing this for myself! The day of surgery I was not nervous AT ALL and if anything I was confident that my nose would certainly look BETTER and never did I feel any doubt. I just couldn't wait to wake up in the recovery room with a beautiful nose! I can say that I have no regret whatsoever in having made this choice. Dr. Ciardullo will make your current nose a better nose and he makes it look good on your face! A good surgeon doesn't make your nose stand out, they make your nose look natural and fit in with the rest of your face. I feel so bad for other people who have had to get revisions! I WISH they would have found Dr. C first!

He is. I wonder if he does revisions. I checked his website but it didn't mention anything about revision.

Your new nose definitely suits your face- it really harmonizes with your features (eyes/lips)! It was a little distracting before. Congrats!

wow, that looks great!! I've broken my nose 5 times.. 3 accidents, one bad doctor trying to fix one of the bad accidents and a fight. So now my nose looks crazy to me. Other people say they don't notice, but obviously I do. Your nose looks fantastic. I live in NYC, so I will probably be checking out your doctor. Thanks for the pics :)

Looks great! The swelling will go down soon. I was so depressed after the cast came off because my face was so puffy, I felt so ugly, but it will get better!
